Next step after burnout at work?

2 points by tnsn ↗ HN
Been working at tech company/startup for a few years now and having severe burnout. Thinking of leaving and taking 1/2 month career break and trying to do my own thing OR doing a short course or postgrad? Any suggestions on best options for someone working in tech and hoping go embark on entrepreneurship?

Did you mean half a year career break? Half a month doesn't sound like a lot.

I've been gifted https://zenfounder.com/products/entrepreneurs-guide-keeping-... which focuses on founders and what she calls solopreneurs. It's not long, less than 200 pages. Her one sentence summary would be to find something that relaxes you, a hobby of any kind, and take time in the weekly schedule to do that. That's long-term though, short-term you could embark to find that new hobby as investment into the future.
